Place both the butter and the peanut butter in the microwave-safe mug and microwave for 10-20 seconds or until it is well melted.
1 tablespoon butter, 3 tablespoon peanut butter
Stir in brown sugar, milk and vanilla extract until it is well combined.
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, ¼ cup milk
Finally, Stir the dry ingredients into the mixture until incorporated.
Divide the batter between two ramekins and then microwave for 90 seconds.
Notes
Avoid over-cooking the cookies. You know your oven best, but if you don’t, then set the timing of the microwave for a lesser time. Check after the timer stops, and then set another timer if it is undercooked.
This cookie is best consumed cool. So, allow it to cool for a few minutes before you bite in. Some might like to eat cookies straight out of the microwave, but they usually crumble and fall apart while they’re still warm.
You can control the size of your cookie by dividing the batter into 3-4 smaller ramekins (this will also cut the baking time in half). Or if you’d like four larger cookies, then double the recipe and place it in two microwave-safe mugs or ramekins.
If you only slightly undercook this, you’ll notice it won’t be as crumbly and crunchy as a cookie but instead soft like cake. You might like that as well!
Store: We’re sure you made these cookies to consume immediately because your cravings just couldn’t resist them. But in case, you’d like to store them, they last for 3-4 days if you transfer them into an air-tight container/bag in the fridge. At room temperature alone, they’ll last 2-3 days.
